The average values shown are derived from Armare laboratory tests on correctly spliced new ropes, and can be changed without notice. Other diameters are available upon request. The static load of the rope should not exceed 20% of the Breaking Load indicated in the table. Knots affect the Breaking Load with reductions of up to 60%. The splicing increases the diameter by about 1.5 times. Weather exposure reduces Breaking Load of the ropes, depending on the intensity and duration of the same and also based on the composition and construction of the product.
